In all robberies in the world the exit points are very important. Offa people should try to fortify these points with military men and you will see why robbers are running away from the town.RIP to the dead.### WE NEED SOLDIERS !!! WE NEED SOLDIERS !!! WE NEED SOLDIERS !!!

Go and ask soldiers what happened in Auchi. The armed robbers went straight to the barracks even before hitting the banks. The soldiers were disabled within an hour. It took several months before banks could open in Auchi.

This is crap.
Technically, all bank robberies in Nigeria are similar.

It's the same modus operandi.
Destabilize the police,
Attack the banks,
Shoot sporadically throughout the period,
Cart away the money and flee.

Hours later, police arrives the scene and mass arrest of innocent people begin.

Nigeria has never witnessed a creative bank heist... Like in the movies; "The Italian Job", "Fast and Furious", or "Now you see me."


Only Under the leadership of a cluesless, brainless leader can exactly the same kind of rbbery, abduction happen without intelligence, interception and nipping in the bud!

Opinionated:
Yesterday was an awful day for indigenes and residents of Offa town in Kwara State after daredevil armed robberies attacked the police station killing policemen before storming banks in the town, killing people indiscriminately and carting away huge sums of money with little resistance from security forces.

As bad as the bank robbery was in Offa yesterday, the shocking thing is that a similar kind of robbery happened in Iwo, a town in neighbouring Osun state on Tuesday, June 6, 2017.

The Daily Trust reported the robbery back then:

“Four policemen were killed by a gang of armed robbers that attacked some commercial banks in Iwo, Osun State on Tuesday while one of the armed robbers was killed by policemen.

“The heavily armed robbers invade Iwo and robbed three banks located opposite the campus of Bowen University and carted huge sum of money away.

“Eyewitnesses told Daily Trust that the armed robbers used explosives to break in to the banks during the robbery operation that lasted for about 50 minutes.

“It was gathered that before they robbed the banks, the armed robbers first attacked the Divisional Police Headquarters in the town and destroyed the Police Armoured Personnel Carrier vehicle.

“Two civilian and a staff of one of the banks sustained injury during the incident.

“Residents of Iwo described the incident as very pathetic and unfortunate.”

This is becoming a worrisome trend and the police has to find better ways of gathering intelligence with a SWOT analysis of each police station or post done to identify immediate and remote threats. Their weaknesses should be fixed, threats identified ahead of time and then properly addressed.

State governments also have to do more to help improve security in major towns not just state capitals. Banks are central to economic activity and a situation where they cannot provide services because of fear of armed robbers hampers economic growth. This is not the first time a major bank robbery is happening in Offa. As a result, it and adjoining towns are not enjoying the presence of as many banks as they would without such robberies. A similar robbery took place in 2013 with many lives lost.

The federal government has to do more to equip the police and other security agencies while the proliferation of arms in the country has to be addressed frontally. Current efforts in this regard have to be improved to make them more effective.

Of course, those behind these dastardly robberies should be apprehended and duly prosecuted in court to serve as some measure of deterrent to others. This negative trend should not be added to the plethora of security issues facing the country.

Police are yeye people here in kwara state, especially the sars. If u are travelling from ilorin to omu-aran, u can count about ten police and sars check point. Looking for yahoo boys and guys with weed. These are the police that supposed to be securing lives in the main town and cities. They are their on the road collecting money from the transporter for themselves and for their Oga. If I start blaming Buhari now, some idiot will start saying patra. What is Buhari doing about the gross corruption in the Nigeria police.

At this stage and times when common movie directors and photographers now own and operate miniature drones and quadcopters

What stops the divisional police commands from following suit?? A miniature quadcopter is enough to tag along with the fleeing robbers. There are dudes (Nigerians) on this forum who build this things for fun. Why can't the government at all levels take our security paramount?. Heard a naval formation is even close by.

The police would rather asslick the elites/politicians and remain sitting ducks, than sit up and be professional


I can only wish the best for me and my household.

Laboratory tests

A wide variety of laboratory tests can be performed on soils to measure a wide variety of soil properties. Some soil properties are intrinsic to the composition of the soil matrix and are not affected by sample disturbance, while other properties depend on the structure of the soil as well as its composition, and can only be effectively tested on relatively undisturbed samples. Some soil tests measure direct properties of the soil, while others measure "index properties" which provide useful information about the soil without directly measuring the property desired.

Atterberg limits The Atterberg limits define the boundaries of several states of consistency for plastic soils. The boundaries are defined by the amount of water a soil needs to be at one of those boundaries. The boundaries are called the plastic limit and the liquid limit, and the difference between them is called the plasticity index. The shrinkage limit is also a part of the Atterberg limits. The results of this test can be used to help predict other engineering properties

California bearing ratio ASTM D 1883. A test to determine the aptitude of a soil or aggregate sample as a road subgrade. A plunger is pushed into a compacted sample, and its resistance is measured. This test was developed by Caltrans, but it is no longer used in the Caltrans pavement design method. It is still used as a cheap method to estimate the resilient modulus.

Direct shear test ASTM D3080. The direct shear test determines the consolidated, drained strength properties of a sample. A constant strain rate is applied to a single shear plane under a normal load, and the load response is measured. If this test is performed with different normal loads, the common shear strength parameters can be determined
